Author of the book: Sergey Lukyanenko
Rating: 4.4
The next book completes the Watch series. Readers find her plot interesting, but rather weak against the background of other books from the cycle.

Genome
Author of the book: Sergey Lukyanenko
Rating: 4.4
The rating would not be complete without the work 'Genome'. In it, the author touches on an interesting and relevant topic. Today, many experiments with genes are being carried out in the world, trying to master new planets. Therefore, it is not surprising that the reader begins to believe in the division of humanity into ordinary and genetically modified people. This is a book about the adventures of a boy who knows how to value friendship, is endowed with justice and kindness, heroism and selflessness. The essence of the plot is that each of us must remain human, real values cannot be replaced by any wealth.
The only drawback of the book is the presence of vulgar scenes. They seemed superfluous to the readers. Apparently, this is how the author wanted to give what is happening more reality. But here the atmosphere of space travel has been skillfully created, technical details and descriptions of worlds are convincingly spelled out, which arouse great interest among fans of this literary genre.
